Just yesterday I was forwarded a posting from a backcountry skiing
newsgroup. It detailed an accident at a European ski hill
where a skier was buried by an avalanche. He was carrying a digital beacon
and his partner, alone, began an immediate
search using his beacon, but the victim could not be located.
Later investigation revealed that the lone searcher was carrying a mobile
phone and that the phone was turned on. It
interfered with the function of the digital beacon he was carrying and gave
false readings, directing the searcher to an area
approximately fifty metres away from where the victim was buried. The
victim"s body was later found using an analogue
beacon, though the article is not clear as to whether or not the phone was
still on and nearby.
A group of manufacturers and distributors conducted tests afterward and
found that analogue and digital beacons are both
somewhat affected by mobile phones. They recommend that all mobile phones
and other electronic devices be turned off
while carrying an avalanche transceiver. Please consider these facts when
using avalanche transceivers.

Digital Avalanche Transceivers affected by mobile phones
A manufacturer"s investigation has revealed that the search mode of ARVA
9000 and Ortovox M1 avalanche transceivers
can be affected by mobile phones.
A pisteur died at Pra-Loup on the 25th of December. He was caught and buried
in an avalanche while securing the ski area.
His colleague tried to find him using an ARVA 9000 avalanche transceiver.
The ARVA indicated a direction and distance
that were completely incorrect. 50 meters away from where the pisteur was
buried. He was later found with a classic
analogue ARVA but too late. Inquiries revealed that the searcher"s portable
phone was turned on.
The search facility of ARVA 9000 and also the Ortovox M1 can be affected by
mobile phones that are not turned off. After
testing this problem has been confirmed by the manufacturers. It would also
seem that there is some affect on analogue
transceivers. It is recommended that all mobile phones are switched off when
a search is made and it is advisable to turn off
all mobiles while carrying an avalanche transceiver.
